Success Story: Creating safer urban spaces

The Smart City project consists of the following components: Integrated Command and Control Centre, WiFi Hotspots, Variable Message Displays, Emergency Help Points, Public Address Systems, Environmental Sensors and Flood Sensors.

The Commend solution with public address systems and help points enables the city of Pune to manage and monitor the entire city more easily and issue warnings, e.g. in the event of flooding during the monsoon season. The modern public address systems transmit crystal clear important safety messages from the government.

The direct connection to the police at the touch of a button gives citizens a sense of security and enables an immediate response in emergencies. One example is the effective management of hit and run cases: Thanks to Commend help terminals it becomes easy to immediately alert ambulances and police and save the lives of injured people, whilst quickly reporting the fleeing driver.

The help points and public address systems not only provide effective solutions for managing the smart city Pune, but also improve the daily lives of the citizens in many ways. Commend's innovative technology ensures that the safety of all citizens is prioritised and that accidents and crimes are dealt with efficiently.

This is also shown by an evaluation: On average, the total number of calls received per month amounts to approximately 600, with the majority being prank or empty calls, while around 50 calls per month constitute genuine inquiries, and 2-3 calls per month pertain to actual incidents.
